Today's riddle: What is the difference between black eyed peas and chick peas? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. LuLu Has Waited More Than 1,000 Days For A Home: Huntington Adoptable Pet Of The Week (patch.com) — LuLu, a shy 6-year-old tabby, has spent more than 1,000 days at Huntington's Grateful Paw Cat Shelter watching other cats get adopted while she waits for a patient, understanding family. Volunteers say she's healthy, gentle, and slowly learning to trust, especially when treats are involved. Huntington-area residents can meet her at the East Northport shelter during visiting hours or by appointment.
2. Huntington Station Deli Hit With 12 Health Code Violations: Police (patch.com) — Authorities cited Las Lajas Deli on Depot Road in Huntington Station for a dozen health code violations, plus fire code and alcohol law issues, after a community complaint prompted an inspection. Town of Huntington fire marshals and Suffolk County health officials plan further investigations, so local customers may want to follow developments before deciding whether to visit.
3. Cinema Arts Centre's Dylan Skolnick addresses 'serious misconduct' charges (newsday.com) — Huntington residents are watching closely as longtime Cinema Arts Centre co-director Dylan Skolnick publicly disputes the board's "serious misconduct" accusations that led to his firing. He says his side film-booking work was minor and previously approved, while supporters, distributors, and members have rallied behind him, raising questions about the future of one of Huntington's signature arts institutions.
4. Rabid Raccoons Reported in Suffolk County (danspapers.com) — Suffolk County health officials are dropping 240,000 oral rabies vaccine baits across Huntington, Babylon, Smithtown, and Islip after two rabid raccoons were confirmed in Northport and Islip. Huntington pet owners are urged to keep rabies shots current, avoid contact with sick wildlife, and report abnormal animal behavior to county or state authorities immediately.
5. Review: Kuku in Huntington, Roslyn (newsday.com) — If you're looking for a new night out in Huntington, this review spotlights Kuku's Korean fried chicken and homestyle dishes at its East Main Street location. The piece walks you through standout menu items, the bright farmhouse-style decor, and why this local outpost of the growing mini-chain feels different from typical Asian fusion spots on Route 25A.
